Re: Iup basketball

I was assuming fairmont wins giving west Liberty 4 losses.

I would never assume West Lib loses a game with that much meaning.

Re: Iup basketball

But if West Lib wins the MEC there's no way they'll stay in the 4/5 slot.

Shippensburg win tomorrow would probably be best for iup. Ship would get the 2 iup 3. Kutztown win probably makes them the 2 and ship the 3. 4/5 being iup/ WL. winner to go against fairmont. Not really liking that scenario.

Joe needs two legit bigs in this upcoming class. Ready to play now bigs. Sleva has a year left.

Re: Iup basketball

They just hit shots. At some point, as frustrating as it may be, you have to tip your cap in games like that.

Sleva made a few plays under the basket where you could say, "wow how did actually get that to go in?" But most of his shots were quality looks that were realistic makes.

It wasn't a Florida Southern game today where they were falling away as the shot clock expired and banked 3's in.

They have a lot of athletic guys who can make shots.

when you shoot the lights out you win. The second half Ship was 58 per cent from the field. for the game they were 54 per cent - who shoots like that in the PSAC ? I'll give you t was no Florida Southern, but lets say they were a bit above average with their shooting.

Yeah, and tonight every bit of garbage he and his teamates threw up went in, they were over 50% shooting percentage

Yeah but they have now swept Joe at the KCAC. Credit is due.

Re: Iup basketball

I have not seen a player at the Division 2 level create more of a "villain" role for himself than he did tonight. Goodness is he annoying.

He's that type of guy that probably starts things in the bar and says whatever he wants, because deep down he knows there's not one person in the building that can do something to stop him.

If i wasn't 6'1" I'd love to deck that MF'er about 12 times. But .... yes .... he's fantastic.

On a different note, I can see why Sleva is a frustrating guy to play against. He's really good. No disrespect to Segar Bonifant or the West Liberty fans, but he's a better player than Bonifant was. There's no debate on that. He handles the ball like a guard, uses his size like a big man. Faster than Bonifant, bigger, more finesse moves, better power game, tremendous rebounder. There's really nothing you can do on him to limit his game at this level.

And he's a high energy guy that plays with a lot of emotion. That's evident. And those guys, when they aren't on your team and are torching you like he was today, they're giant pains in the asses to play against. It seemed like all of the extracurriculars really fueled him today. All of the post whistle scrums, the fact that he was public enemy number one in that building when he touched the ball. It motivated him. And boy, does it seem like he really embraces that role of the villain. He taunted the IUP crowd every trip back down the court. At times it seemed like he was more interested in wagging his tongue at the crowd after draining a 3 than he was at getting back on defense. Not everybody can play the role of the villain and create that identify for yourself and be the best player on the floor in multiple facets of the game. Tremendous player.

Ship will be a tough out next week.

Bottom line, the refs bailed Ship out the whole game. 23 seconds left in OT and the worst call of the game happened to bail Ship out. Tail of the tape, those refs suck!!!

I'll agree that was a bad call there. That was a physical possession both ways. To call that there and nothing before in that sequence was horrendous.

But I won't blame the game on the officials. If IUP makes 1 more free throw during the game, Cobo is shooting to win it, not send it to overtime. Bad calls are part of the game.

IUP missed a ton of open looks. Ship hit theirs.
